Anyone have some hose recommendations for me?
I use mainly goodyear nutriflo. They barely last a year now with the increased usage as our production has been ramping up. We have had a few burst during CIP recently (1.5" hose off the supply pump, 30 psi at the gauge on the tank cip arm, 140 F max temp using ultra niter).
Vintner hose is extremely expensive in comparison and we don't need such a heavy duty hose for what we are doing with the cider. The CIP use mentioned above is the most intense temperature/pressure use that this hose will see.
Is there some other hose that is a bit better quality than goodyear nutriflo that will last longer and not fail during CIP once it gets a little older?
Thanks
